    seen quite a few 3/4 grey 1/4 collies take hares owned 1. the best i have seen without saluki blood was a 1/2 cross gsd x greyhound cross 3/4 grey 1/4 deerhound back in the 80s a very consistant taker of daytime hares.

    get a gundog book much better for basic obedience and retrieving practices. gundog training for amateurs by richard sharp is good in my opinion.these type of books tend to give you advice when things go wrong in training/retrieving practise.there are good lurcher books regarding the starting and different types of hunting with lurchers.The main stumbling block some people find training pups is the retrieve this is were gundog books and their advice ,tips and techniques are good.

    seen a fair few go since the 80s. i like the cross.the best 1 i have seen was a greyhound lined by one of j.piggins beddys. a belting ferreting dog and great mooching dog that knocked over daytime hares on occasion. watched it from a pup to retirement always tried its best. a very good dog.very good nose on this dog also took feather regular.

    over rated. 2 real world champions exposed him. got kosta tszyu at the right time when he was well past his best. should have been stopped against jon thaxton with a badly cut eye. just did not live the life of a truly dedicated fighter.

    sad news. but on a positive note look at the experience you gaining by owning him, as with everything it is not all plain sailing working animals.you didnt give up when you thought he was a lost cause and through perserverance he came good. good luck for the future ferreting.

    my terrier does a breakdance routine when we get home from ferreting. 1/2 a piriton tablet sorts him out if he gets too bad.

    also if you know any spots where you can see rabbits outside the warrens . walk over when they have dropped in then let the dog check them over. at least you know yourself they are occupied and watch her for giving signs. some dogs marks are much more subtle than others. it is just a question of getting out and letting her gain experience.
